Ed-a.... who?

My husband made this yummy discovery a year or so ago, but one look at this particular food, didn't do much for my eyes or my stomach, so I never gave them a shot.

I truly hate peas and so this veggie, bearing a striking resemblance, I assumed would be yucky to my taste buds as well.

Edited version: I had posted the way of saying Edamame incorrectly and I have now made the change to the correct pronunciation. It is not Eda-mommy as I was previously told by a previous neighbor who shall remain nameless (Kelley) and I finally looked it up myself now that my friend Lynn has mentioned that it is spelled a different way. I stand corrected girls.

I tried Edamame (Ed-a-ma-May) at my old neighbor's house a few months ago (Hey Kelley) and couldn't stop popping these yummy soy beans in my mouth like an addictive bag of chips that I couldn't put down.

Why is Kara dedicating a whole blog to a bean, or a vegetable, or whatever it is - you ask? I am not sure.

It could be that it is late.

That I am overtired,

OR

that I am just the kinda gal who likes to share a new and yummy treat with my friends who are also on a journey of eating healthier and needing something new and tasty to try.

Yes. That's it. I'm a good samaritan.

Anyway.

You can buy these little guys frozen and just boil some of the pods in water for like 10 minutes. Salt em' up. And then slide 'em out of the pods with your teeth and they will just pop in your mouth with their yummy, healthy goodness.

Give 'em a try and let me know what you think.
